The production ofCreed 2has officially come to an end, according to some new posts on social media from the cast and crew. Production on the sequel started back in the middle of March whenDolph Lundgren, who is back to reprise his role of Ivan Drago, was spotted with Florian Munteanu, who plays his son on the steps of the iconicRockylandmark Philadelphia Museum of Art. The duo were training and it wasn’t long before Sylvester Stallone was spotted on set.
Sylvester Stallone kept fans updated from the very beginning of the development ofCreed 2, sharing pictures of his handwritten script back last summer. A lot has changed since then. Star Michael B. Jordan is now a household name, thanks to the enormous success of Marvel’sBlack Pantherand Steven Caple Jr. was brought on to direct when it was initially believed that Stallone was going to write, direct, produce, and star in the sequel. And now, production has finally wrapped as evidenced by the officialCreed 2Instagram page, which was a repost from star Tessa Thompson, who coincidentally is also from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Since the announcement that filming onCreed 2has finished, footage ofMichael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, and director Steven Caple Jr. dancing and indulging in adult beverages has surfaced online as well. Another video has leaked featuring Jordan addressing the cast and crew. All in all, it looks like the entire cast had a blast making the sequel out in Philadelphia. There’s no sign of Dolph Lundgren or Sylvester Stallone in any of the wrap party photos, which leads one to believe that they might’ve finished a little earlier.
Last month,Sylvester Stallonewas filmed on the steps of the originalRockyhouse. He sat on the porch and reminisced about the classic 1976 movie that started it all. The 71-year old actor mentioned that he didn’t know how many times he was going to be able to go back to the house, so he visited while taking a breather fromCreed 2. If that wasn’t enough, Stallone also revealed that the original turtles fromRocky, Cuff and Link, who are still alive and will also be featured inCreed 2.
